Filled With Testosterone Poem by Riitta Gyllenbogel

filled with testosterone
spring hormone
in growling prowling search
for the female of the species feline
testes gone with a surgical knife
doomed to a life without wife without wife,
without chance of a furry little
furball of a kitten so very badly bitten
jumping scratching all bites to no avail
all hail spring!
bring forth the ghost of a memory
in memoriam of female finally found
testifying the power of testosterone
long gone gone gone with the surgeon's knife
a good good life growing fat with this cat
this cat in this hat (herr doctor seuss in the operating theatre)
do sharpen the blade till it gleams
with the dreams of a different life
another lifetime long long gone
say goodbye to the male
all hail the good good surgeon
and his knife the savior of a life
farewell testicular cancer of the bone
come, come, little kitty: it's time to go home
